Money is tight, and Hayley's mom goes on the hunt for a new job. Serious matters are treated with compassion and truth: After her parents divorce, Hayley, her younger sister, Chloe, and her mom move in with her grandmother. This series has just the right mix of ingredients for tween readers: a thoughtful, considerate protagonist, distinct characters, each with their own flavor, fun times, steady pacing, and a pinch of secrets. When working in the kitchen, Hayley feels like she's in control, and things seem more manageable. With so many things in Hayley's life changing, she finds solace in baking and in being in her grandmother's café, The Tea Room. She'd rather be stirring up a new batch of cupcakes. Hungry for a sweet series of books? Order up the Confectionately Yours series by Lisa Papademetriou and meet Hayley, a seventh-grade girl whose life just got shaken up by her parents' divorce.
